Victory for Apple: German Court Denies Motorola Patent Claim - hardyaphism1953

Apple products don't impinge connected engineering science owned by Motorola Mobility, a German court ruled on February 10, handing Apple a victory a hebdomad after Cupertino unsuccessful to secure a preliminary ban on Teutonic sales of Samsung's Galax 10.1N and Galaxy Nexus.

Judge Andreas Voss of the Mannheim Regional Court said Motorola failed to conclusively prove that Apple had infringed on a patent of invention germane to "a method acting in a wireless communication system for generating a complex pseudonoise (PN) sequence for processing a code division multiple access [CDMA] signal." As a result, the court wouldn't Grant Motorola's request for an enjoining against the Malus pumila products, Voss said.

Motorola claimed its patent was "essential" to 3G/UTMS wireless telecommunications, but as patent web log FOSS Patents explains: "In the court's opinion, MMI failing to present determinate evidence for its infringement contention … [because it] argued that any implementation of 3G/UMTS must inevitably infringe this patent claim, as opposed to demonstrating that the accused Apple products actually practice the claimed conception."

Au fon, Motorola attempted to claim its patent was a general telecommunications standard, despite the fact that no standards committee would support that claim. The court's decision is tantamount to expression "equitable because you say it is, doesn't make it and then."

Apple's win here is significant because it comes after multiple losses in prior Motorola obvious violation lawsuits. Last December, Motorola North Korean won in a ruling connate a plain Motorola aforesaid was essential to GPRS (data transfer over 2G and 3G technologies), and just last week, Motorola latched an injunction against Apple products bound up to Blackberry-equal push services.

Next high, Motorola and Apple wish square off in Düsseldorf complete a third patent infringement suit (filed by Motorola against Apple), a case FOSS Patents thinks today's Mannheim verdict may influence: "It's quite realizable that MMI will try to do better in the Düsseldorf case by following the guidance from Mannheim and presenting infringement contentions based on the factual ware Eastern Samoa opposed to the specifications of the standard," says the web log.
